dinner to-nlKht. The 1'renluVnt entered
Into the fplrlt of the occaHlon and mado
one of the mnu l1lRhtfut Kiie.its of
honor that tho club ever has enter
tained The club manifested toward Mr. Wil
son a most friendly spirit. In fact told
him that he was the man to rlm,- anew .
the Independence boll, und gave l.lm 11
greot ovation when hU turn came to
reply, to the Rood natured fun that the
club hud had throughout tho dinner nt
the expense-of the lemocratlc party.
All of President Wilson's Cabinet ex
cept Secretary of the Treasury Mc
Adoo were ot the tnbles. For many of
them this was also their first experi
ence at a. Gridiron feast, und they
entered as heartily Into tho merrymak
Ine as did the President himself.
The usual manlier of Senator, mem
bers of the House, foreign representa
tives and well known men In tho busi
ness, financial and professional world
wero present ss Kiiests. The dinner
Itself was plven In honor of tho new
PreMdnnt.
The fun began almost before the first
course was served. The diners found
themselves Knzlint nt tho interior of a
llHhthoiiM--thc Democratic llishthouse
It was called. Senator Hoke Smith,
who looked as If he were ready to rescuo
anything from u four masted schooner
to a drowning tariff schedule, enters
first.
" Tls a bitter nlftht," said Hoke, rub
bine his frostbitten ears.
"Whee'unh-UKh," moaned the wind
and a bushel or so of paper snow fell
Impressively.
"Ah. 'tis n happy day." added Hoke,
"for we tlmple tisher folk In Port
Hevenue. For sixteen years the old
Democrntlc Unlit has been dark, nut
where Is the light now?"
The l.lKht I KnrnUhrd.
For an answer the property man sol
emnly placed a lighted lantern on a con
i venlent peg. Then In came "Champ
Clark."
' Tl a bitter nlsht," said Champ to
Hoke
More wind and another bushel of
snow Th only "William fl. McAcIpo"
followed close upon the heels of Speaker
Clark, and with him came further evi
dences of the storm without. The trio
gazed upon the turmoil.
"G () P. liner Tnft la but a hulk on
Protection Shonl." said one.
"The mizzentop of tho brig Progres
ilvn senrco shows above Bull Moose
rocks." exclaimed McAdoo, peering Into
the outer darkness
"VeB. and the swift clipper I'ncle Joe
lies whitening on the sands." added
Chump Clark.
"All are wrecks, lost for lack of light."
observed Hoke Smith.
"Vou mean for lack of cash," com
mented the Hon Champ.
Just then Hoke Smith, taking another
good look at the storm, nllowed that it
was "a black wast for black deeds."
McAdoo believed, however, that the
wreckers had tied before "us honest
coast guards." Hut Lifeguard McAdoo
had spoken ton noon, for In the next mo-
ment the frightful discovery was made
that "Penroce Hmoot, king or tn wreck
ers, - had been sighted In the oiling
As the force of this discovery dawned
on the Democrats within the lighthouse
they were cheered by news of the arrival
of "Oscar I'nderwood" to protect the
onnt The Democrats wero saddened,
however, by the added Information that
the protection was to be "purely inci
dental." But Oscar the protector, had not ar
rived alone. About the same time ap
peared "Old Bill Hrynn" und his daugh
ter "Tariff." the fairest maid that ever
nursed an Infant Industry She was
the heroine und Oscar's sweetheart.
The Democrats In tho lighthouse
teemed to be In damrer of forgottlng
that It was a bitter night when a mes
senger bov arrived accompanied with
another large gob of wind ami snow
The telegram that he brought was
signed "Wnodrow Wilson " It told of
the necebsltv of keeping the light
burning, because the, good ship "T. Jef.
ferson Platform" was duo from Balti
more with a cargo of tariff revision,
currency reform, trust binders and with
the Seven Sisters on board.
The Vllluln Cnlrm.
But hark, on tho wings of a particu
larly violent gust of wind the villain,
Penrose Smoot. enters. He sees the
Klrl, Tariff, Old Bill Bryan's daughter
and Oscar's sweetheart
"I'll wreck the Platform," said
"then once aboard the lugger tho girl Is
mine."
"I'll dress you like Sheba's queen,"
the villain added n moment later, np.
pealing to Miss Tariff herself.
"No," replied the brave girl, "rags
are royal raiment when worn for
Woodrow's snkn."
Mies Tariff said, however, with a
blush nnd a hanging of her head that
he was "a poor, unprotected girl."
"Unhand me. villain! Help' Help'"
h screamed.
Whereupon Oscar, the hero, dashed
In, absolutely forgetting the announce
ment that It was a bitter cold night, and
rescued Miss Tariff,
There wero many other eventr Ir. tho
skit. Including a hand to hand conflict
hetween Old Bill Bryan and tho villain
In nn effort to see who would put out
the light, but finally tho good ip wa.
hailed.
The guests had hardly finished laugh
ing nt this when one of tho members of
the club started up a song, a parody on
"Row, How, How," and having par
tlcular reference to the cool reception
that office seekers got at the White
Hnusn nnd the turning of them over
to Cabinet officers.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE
IN THE STEEL MILLS
OovcrntiiPiit Hcnort Shows'
Tlicro Arc Still Many
Needed Olinnes.
Washington-. April 12 --Commlsslonei
of Labor Charles P Nelll has made pub
lic a report on conditions of employ
ment In the Iron nnd steel Industry, this
being tho third part of the report two
parts having been previously lsucd
The report pays:
"That tho workmen of the steel In
dustry have no effective means of do
termlnlng the conditions tinder u'-ich
they work, or even of calling attention
to those features which they cous'dcr
unjust, nnd apnrt from the fact that a
larire number of the workmen cnnn t
mulo themselves understood cither by
their superior olllcers or by many nf
thdr fellow workmen, they ore iilm-xt
entirely without any orgnnlntlon "
The report says that In IPOS 57 per
cent, of the employees In the iron and
steel Industry were foreign born, as
against 3.'. per cent. In 1P00. there being
3il,409 native born nnd 4'.'.6S0 foreign
born.
"There Is at present no open organ
ization of Iron nnd steel workers In nny
of the subsidiary companies of the
t'nlted States Steel Corporation." says
the report, "and In only two of the brge
Independent companies.
"Hecent Investigation shows thnt lnr,
1910 a number of steel companies, nota
bly tha 1'nited States Steel Corporation,
have put Int" effect various plans by
which none of their employees Is re
quired or permitted to work more -linn
six days a week Between 40 nnd "0
per cent, of the employees fo'ine-iy
working spven days a week have been
affected by these nrrnng"inents fur mv
day work, but this still leaves innv
thnn lf per cent of the employies m
the Industry ns it whole nnd more thnn
50 per cent, of the blast furmce work
men on n regular schedule of seven davc
a wvek. The proportion of men wo-k-Ing
twelve hours n dav has been prac
tically unchanged except for two plnntu
which hae Introduced the right hour
system "
The report concludes that a systom of
three shifts of eight hours each Is the
only practicable substitute for the ex
istlng schedule of two shifts of twelve
hours.

Limitations of a Letter of Credit
The funds of the party must be carried by one person
and may be lost.
Difficult When currency of the country is required, there is gen
erally not more than one person in the entire city your
banker to whom you can identify yourself, and he
mutt be found. Should it be Sunday, you must wait; if a
holiday, your plans may have to be changed until
business is resumed.
You always draw more than you require, and each time
you draw you pay exchange. You arrive in Germany
with several hundred francs, which are of no use to you
and must be sold, causing another loss in exchange.

merely have credit which enables you to get money if
